Nose: so good. Herbs, wintergreen, blackberry, leather, sweet tobacco, a little cooked meat, forest floor, a little coffee (medium roast!). Wonderful.
Taste: as it smells. Medium weight, cedar, herbs, forests, bitter coffee (light roast now), smooth. Delicious stuff. There’s a lovely juiciness that lingers - surprising for something 10 years old. 92-93.

Deep dark garnet color. Nice dark cherry round fruit and depth here. Enough complexity with wood and earth. What a nice finish with firm long tannins that melt into a clean finish. Best merlot dominant wine I’ve had in a while. Had it with a NY strip at Capital Grille.

A nice Saint Emilion Grand Cru, 2008 is a nice year... Keep for a while in a decanter and enjoy it!
